Turbo Props

Turboprops are the next generation of propeller planes. They no longer have a regular engine spinning the propeller but instead have a turbine which trust is considerably more powerful. Compared to turbojets, turboprops’ fuel consumption is much lower. In turn, the operating cost of aircraft equipped with turboprop engines is considerably lower than regular jets.

While they usually fly slightly slower than regular jets, some turboprop planes, like the Piaggio P180 are almost just as fast as their turbine powered counterparts. Turboprop charter is ideal for short flights, usually inside one country or to fly to a neighbouring country. They can also land on very short runways or on unusual runways. They are an economical choice when you need to fly for short distances; however, they often lack the space you would find in a bigger aircraft’s cabin.
